Thermoelectric Nanomaterials
Presently, there is an intense race throughout the world to develop good enough thermoelectric materials which can be used in wide scale applications. This book focuses comprehensively on very recent up-to-date breakthroughs in thermoelectrics utilizing nanomaterials and methods based in nanoscience. Importantly, it provides the readers with methodology and concepts utilizing atomic scale and nanoscale materials design (such as superlattice structuring, atomic network structuring and properties control, electron correlation design, low dimensionality, nanostructuring, etc.). Furthermore, also indicates the applications of thermoelectrics expected for the large emerging energy market. This book has a wide appeal and application value for anyone being interested in state-of-the-art thermoelectrics and/or actual viable applications in nanotechnology.
Thermodynamics
Progress of thermodynamics has been stimulated by the findings of a variety of fields of science and technology. The principles of thermodynamics are so general that the application is widespread to such fields as solid state physics, chemistry, biology, astronomical science, materials science, and chemical engineering. The contents of this book should be of help to many scientists and engineers.

Thermoelectrics for Power Generation
Thermoelectrics for Power Generation - A Look at Trends in the Technology is the first part of the InTech collection of international community works in the field of thermoelectric power generation. The authors from many counties have presented in this book their achievements and vision for the future development in different aspects of thermoelectric power generation. Remarkably, this hot topic unites together efforts of researchers and engineers from all continents of our planet. The reader will find in the book a lot of new interesting information concerning prospective materials for thermoelectric generators, both inorganic and organic; results of theoretical studies of materials characteristics; novel methods and apparatus for measuring performance of thermoelectric materials and devices; and thermoelectric power generator simulation, modeling, design, and practice.
Smart Materials
Explores State-of-the-Art Work from the World's Foremost Scientists, Engineers, Educators, and Practitioners in the FieldWhy use smart materials?Since most smart materials do not add mass, engineers can endow structures with built-in responses to a myriad of contingencies. In their various forms, these materials can adapt to their environments by c
Political Education in the Anthropocene
This book articulates an educational theory as well as a political theory of the Anthropocene. Divided into three sections it addresses educational anthropology, cultures and institutions, and educational recommendations in the Anthropocene. Topics covered in the volume measure the impact of the idea of the Anthropocene on the type of anthropology that underlies education and on a phenomenology of relationship. It links the notion of the Anthropocene with cultures and institutions so as not to 'smooth out' or erase the latter. Finally, it presents proposals and recommendations for educational practices. The work advocates rethinking education as an essential component in ensuring the sustainability of human life in society - by proposing to go beyond the approach of education for sustainable development or environmental education. The work also brings together empirical contributions in which proposals are elaborated for programs, pedagogical devices and experiments relating to the preparation of the future in the field of education. This volume is of interest to researchers of the Anthropocene.
Integral Human Development
This volume brings into conversation two major moral traditions in the social sciences and humanities that offer common areas for understanding, interpreting, and transforming the world. Over the last decade, moral theologians who work on issues of poverty, social justice, human rights, and political institutions have been finding inspiration in the capability approach (CA). Conversely, social scientists who have been working on issues of poverty and social justice from a CA perspective have been finding elements in the Catholic social tradition (CST) to overcome some of the limitations of the CA, such as its vagueness regarding what counts as a valuable human life and its strong individual ...
Renal Cancer
This pocketbook summarises the latest evidence-based and practical information on the treatment of renal cancer, covering the range of therapies currently available to clinicians, including surgery, interventional radiology, and systemic treatments.
L'Entropie créatrice
L’entropie a permis de donner naissance à la mécanique statistique et la mécanique quantique ; d’expliquer la stabilité et la permanence temporelle du gène. Empreinte d’une aura de mystère, elle trône depuis le XIXe siècle au cœur des plus grandes théories scientifiques… Cet ouvrage propose une interprétation originale et positive de l’entropie, en s’appuyant sur une structure fractale, quantique et log-périodique. Cette approche propose un éclairage original sur la structure des particules relativistes et de la relativité restreinte. Les auteurs appliquent ces idées à la structure des écosystèmes et à l’évolution des espèces. Ils étudient également la log-périodicité des systèmes évolutifs sociétaux à travers l’évolution de la science et des technologies, l’expansion des empires ou encore l’évolution dans les arts et les ordres religieux. Ce livre renouvelle en effet de nombreux concepts des principes de la thermodynamique avec des conséquences physiques inattendues présentées de façon à être accessible aux chercheurs et au grand public éclairé́.
